Bullshit.
Firstly, they like the taste of Pigeons, Moose, Deer, Pheasant, etc.; which have not been grown in battery farms and pumped with hormones.
Secondly, they like being outdoors and catching their own food.
Thirdly, it's good to know how to operate a firearm, who knows when the zombie apocalypse will start?
Your fashionable, lefty, soundbites will get you laid, and probably with someone quite attractive; the problem is, you'll have to tolerate her as she changes into a man hating, dungaree wearing, embarassment by middle age. For good measure, she'll probably run off with the Yoga teacher, divorce you, and spend the rest of her life squeezing you for maintenance.
All of the above does not apply to fox-hunting, which as practiced by the British, is a sick, sadistic, pointless way to kill an animal.
True that. Every Friday, it's my little bundle of joy delivered by the postman.
The closest US equivalent is Foreign Afairs, but it's full of huge ego pieces such as Henry Kissenger banging on about an optimistic vision for pan asian co-prosperity sphere... or how vulnerable the Ruskies are to a first strike.
National Geographic is excellent, but I prefer to read the older editions, from the 70's and 80's, the newer ones just aren't the same.
There are lots of Linux magazines produced in Europe, many of which are rather glossy, but none of them come anywhere the Perl Journal or Sys-Admin magazine in terms of purity.
Wow, wait till you hit 40, you're gonna look back at that post and weep. Unless you're female, in which case you're probably going to be laughing into your cappuccino. Two words for you my son. Monthly Payments.
I don't believe any suicide bomber has done so in the UK (worn a burka).
Apart from a single significant instance in 2004, the people with the greatest history of random slaughter in the UK, have been 100% white, without exception and indistinguishable from any other indigenous inhabitant of those blighted isles.
The only 'white' country in which Islamists have carried out operations used Burka clad female suicide operatives has been (arguably) the Russian Federation, specifically Chechnya and Dagestan.
The vast majority of the camera's in the UK are trained on the white, Christian, shoplifting, drunken assaulting, raping, whoring, speeding, drug dealing natives.
Of course, most of the population think they were put there by the EU - because the Daily Mail tells them what happens.
Best magazine in the world. It's like National Geographic, but unlike National Geographic, it isn't dumbed down.
Novels are the preserve of teenagers and pensioners - if you can afford to read a novel, why do you work in front of a computer?
Find out which ones are important to the business - start counting them. Create a pipeline of system improvement projects - work on them. Document everything you do. The gods will smile upon you.
That's the most retarded shit I've ever heard. None of the US's 'near peer' states could care less about the manner in which the day-to-day war of occupations are waged. IED's, propaganda, tactics, torture, etc, haven't changed since the 50's. What they would be interested in - is some of that tasty info that comes from getting some slut to hook up with a policymaker, scientist or prominent economic figure.
War zones provide good wages, at a (somewhat)* increased risk of disabling injury or death. But, apart from the potential for socio-political scandal there probably aren't an awful lot of strategic technology on the ground, when you consider it was brought there to use against a third world enemy.
*While the west still maintains it's military/technological advantage over the enemy/rest of the world.
Some of greatest dullards I've ever worked with - have been: house in the suburbs, car-driving, college guys. Having had life handed to them on a plate; many display a noteworthy lack of initiative, extending themselves, only as far as is necessary to support their social-climbing goals.
I've worked as a consultant/contractor. Mostly, providing them with the information they were too lazy themselves to learn.
Who wouldn't rather have, a clued-up, hacker working on the team, and not an indolent, middle class jock.
And, seriously, the information is all on the Internet, or in books. Lots of people don't even want to go to college, and be forced to deal with priapic chasers of young skirt, egomaniacs, bullies, weasel-worded bigots, manic leftists, hangers-on, liars and all who plague academia.
It's the 21st Century, get the information yourself. Commerce is pure. Fuck University.
Now, without getting into how much i dislike Pulseaudio (maybe because i'm an old UNIX fart, thank you very much), I think there are really serious issues with "The Journal", which I can summarize as such:
1. the problem it's trying to fix is already fixed
2. the problem isn't fixed by the solution
2. it makes everything more opaque
3. it makes the problem worse
The first issue is that it is trying to fix a problem that is already easily solved with existing tools: just send your darn logs to an external machine already. Syslog has supported networked logging forever.
Second, if you log on a machine and that machine gets compromised, I don't see how having checksums and a chained log will keep anyone from just running trashing the whole 'journal'.
rm -rf/var/log
What am i missing here?
Third, this implements yet another obscure and opaque system that keeps the users away from how their system works, making everything available only through a special tool (the journal), which depends on another special tool (systemd), both of which are already controversial. I like grepping my logs. I understand http://logcheck.org and similar tools are not working very well, but that's because there isn't a common format for logging, which makes parsing hard and application dependent. From what I understand, this is not something The Journal is trying to address either. To take an example from their document:
MESSAGE=User harald logged in
MESSAGE_ID=422bc3d271414bc8bc9570f222f24a9
_EXE=/lib/systemd/systemd-logind
[... 14 lines of more stuff snipped]
(Nevermind for a second the fact that to carry the same amount of information, syslog only needs one line (not 14), which makes things actually readable by humans.)
The actual important bit here is "User harald logged in". But the thing we want to know is: is that a good thing or a bad thing? If it was "User harald login failed", would it be flagged as such? It's not in the current objectives, it seems, to improve the system in that direction. I would rather see a common agreement on syntax and keywords to use, and respect for the syslog levels (e.g. EMERG, ALERT,..., INFO, DEBUG), than reinventing the wheel like this.
Fourth, what happens when our happy cracker destroys those tools? This is a big problem for what they are actually trying to solve, especially since they do not intend to make the format standard, according to the design document (published on you-know-who, unfortunately). So you could end up in a situation where you can't parse those logs because the machine that generated them is gone, and you would need to track down exactly which version of the software generated it. Good luck with that.
I'll pass. Again.
Hear, hear. The biggest problem anyway is that people don't read their log-files. This Journal thing just seems to make them harder to parse.

6 months of XFCE here. It does everything I want. I don't need a talking paperclip. Or, the Gnome, or KDE equivalent.
KDE is GPL everything. That's why Gnome is the target, even when it sucks.
At home with the kids.

Take that any way you like.
Not quite as subtle as that, I was under the impression they just blew them up. Not much ambiguity there.

Sounds like mud pie to me!

I'd say insightful rather than funny.

Unless it's made of cheese, and stamped with 'Oude Kass', the wheel is never round enough for the typical Dutch developer.
